Continued adoption of Shield technology supports the Company's expected transition to profitability in fiscal 2026

PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ: INTZ) ("Intrusion" or the "Company"), a leader in cyberattack prevention solutions, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Recent Financial & Business Highlights:

• Secured a $4 million contract to deliver our cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection technology to a state government agency.

• Entered into a $3 million secured financing agreement to strengthen liquidity position and support near-term operating priorities.

• Launched the P.O.S.S.E (Protecting Our Sheriff's Security Everywhere) Program in February through a partnership with PortNexus that utilizes Shield On-Premise to help protect law enforcement from cyber threats.

"Our first quarter results primarily reflect the timing impact of the previously disclosed contract extension delay related to our critical infrastructure technology with the Department of War that was driven by federal funding and procurement delays," said Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion. "We expect to recover this revenue in future periods as federal funding resumes and procurement activity returns to more typical levels. Furthermore, we continue to remain confident that we will see further expansion of our critical infrastructure solution both domestically and internationally with the Department of War throughout 2026 and beyond."

Mr. Scott concluded, "As we look ahead to the remainder of fiscal year 2026, we are optimistic that we will see an improvement in our financial results. This is supported by strengthening sales momentum, including broader adoption of the P.O.S.S.E Program through our partnership with PortNexus, and the recent award of a $4 million contract to provide our cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection solutions to a state government agency. These developments give us great confidence that Intrusion remains on track to achieve profitability by the end of the fiscal year and deliver value for our shareholders."

First Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was approximately $0.9 million, representing a decrease of 50% on a year-over-year basis. Performance continued to be impacted by delays in the award of a key U.S. government contract. The Company remains optimistic that a meaningful portion of the associated revenue will be realized in future periods subject to final award timing and funding approvals.

The gross profit margin was 74% for the first quarter of 2026, down slightly from the prior year period. Gross margin varies based on product mix.

Operating expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.2 million, up $0.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $3.6 million, or $(0.18) per share, which is down $1.5 million when compared to prior year performance.

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 million. In early April, the Company entered into a $3 million secured financing agreement, strengthening its liquidity position and supporting near-term operating priorities. The facility provides additional financial flexibility to execute on strategic initiatives.
